Review:

Szombathely is one of Hungary’s oldest cities, originally settled by the Romans in 43AD and well worth a visit for anyone interested in ancient history. Today visitors can see part of the original Amber Road, which formed a vital trade route and was the reason for the establishment of the town. When you visit the (reconstructed) Temple of Isis and the adjoining modern museum you will be able to admire a very significant collection of Roman artifacts. The museum is located on the pretty main town square which is surrounded by attractive pastel-colored buildings and filled with fountains and statues. Also on the square is the impressive Szombathely Synagogue which is now home to the city’s Philharmonic Orchestra.
